2006 vintage. The first vintage for Caroline Frey to be in charge. This shows beautifully now for a wine that was totally underrated by Robert Parker on release.While it may not have the depth and power of the greatest vintages of this iconic wine, this 2006 is a terrific wine in it's own right. Complex nose with spices, black fruit, tobacco and cedar. In the mouth it is beautifully balanced with bright acidity embracing layers of black fruit and spices and velvety tannin. Impressive length too. Abv. 14%. — 2 years ago
Bottled 28 March 2018. Blend no. 42. Season 17/18. Shared by @Bryan Frey for a delicious nightcap and to honor Armand’s passing on 6 March. Just a perfectly balanced, funky, citrusy, earthy lambic. Best before 2038, but there is no way I could get my hands on enough to test that date as they would disappear well before then. — 2 years ago

This Gewurz has a really nice purity and freshness, likely in part due to the fact it was grown biodynamically. Nose has musky lychee, along with a bright stony minerality that manages to push through the deep Gewurz perfume. Fairly sweet in the mouth, but with enough energy to carry it. Finish is actually kind of delicate. Superb. (Ed.: I actually would prefer it if growers in Alsace moved the needle on Gewurz a bit more to the dry side, but I love the good ones any way I can get them.) — 2 years ago

Loads of minerals on the nose, some deep apple fruit underneath. Full and dry on the palate. A powerful Riesling. — 16 days ago
